Camp Europe - Six-Month Outdoor Education Diploma

Doing this program was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Doing this program gives you so much hands-on knowledge and experience in a wide range of activities so there really is something for everyone, water sports, high ropes, logistics, and pretty much anything else you can think of is what we were doing. One of the highlights of this program for me was meeting and making friends with some amazing people with like-minded interests from all over the world, I'm hoping that these friendships last a lifetime. I wouldn't, however, call the program 'easy', a lot of the time it's challenging and exhausting, you're working long hours, with few breaks, constantly surrounded by other people, and sometimes very little time off. But despite this, the work is so much fun and so rewarding and everyone is in it together. I would 100% recommend this program for anyone who loves the outdoors, pushing their comfort zone, and working with kids. If I were to go back in time I would do the past 6 months all over again.

It was probably the best experience of my life so far. It was an amazing journey of six months with lots of ups and downs. Amazing work environment with beautiful people from all over the world. The Program included every single aspects of being in the outdoors, be it water sports, high ropes (which i personally love the most), working with children from different age groups or just the social life with fellow teamers. Everything here feels like we are in a different world far away from the other world that we live in. There is no judgement of any sorts or no hiding behind masks. You can be whoever you want to be. The variety of programs surprised me the most. It was so much of different programs I got to take part in like Leadership (which was by far the best program camp has), Space camp, senior camp, school trips. Everything was just so overwhelming. Can a bit too much sometimes but with people like the people in camp everything seems so easy. I would not trade this experience for anything else in the world. It was an amazing time for me in the camp and I would love to return to camp always because "It is what it is".

I did the program this year, and for the beginning I asked myself: "why didn't you do it before?". My perception in the interviews I felt a little nervous, but the people have a lot of experience and they give you amazing tools for you. Challenge by choice is a phrase I will never forget and because I never feel alone, always are someone with you, so the support is 100%. I made a very good friends, with a lot of culture and differents attitudes, so, the experience in the program it was different every day...is more interesting and amazing.
